What a tribulation.

Sorry for such a bad end to your trip. Thanks again for sharing your trip with us.

The front windows are 12mm perspex specifically designed to conform to ISO 12216 and there is not one report of a failure of the front window from wave impact in the thousands of catamarans Leopard has built with this feature.

The front cockpit is designed to drain in 45 seconds, exceeding ISO 12216 and ABYC standards.

I wouldn't call these the ultimate blue water boats, but they are probably more capable than the putz at the helm about 99% of the time.

Considering that the right engine drug on the runway for a considerable distance, it's amazing that the right wing didn't rip off. It speaks to the strength of that connection.

look at this video on youtube, around 2:58 shows the move back off the runway.

I was only half kidding when I said I said they'd put the engine on roller-skates. Instead they propped the wing on a flatbed truck with black tires on it to support the wing. Love seeing the process.

Saw the Topper owner last season and he didnt look as spite as he used to. Don't know the history, but what's the issue with him, Beacon Hill condos and his restaurant?

3 weeks ago got 1:1 even using credit card at la villa

It is not advertised any more there and we have been long time customers and friends with Christophe and Axel

I did notice a few other places offering 1:1

Well you can drive it fast if that's what you like. But the distances in the BVI are so short you just putter along at 8 knots and get to your next destination quickly just becuase you are going in a straight line, not tacking back and forth. One other advantage of the power cat rarely mentioned here is that there is a solid front deck making grabbing a ball a lot easier than doing it from a springy tramp with all that rigging in your way.

Good to see you are coming back..

Thanks for sharing all your photos and descriptions! One of the best parts of visiting SXM for us are the great meals we get to enjoy and I love reading your reviews to find places we need to visit

Georgia--we encourage spammers to register? Anyway, this one is done.

Take the 4 pm speedy ferry, direct to vg. No hassle at roadtown with luggage changing ferries.

Understand service at Pizza Italy can be limited as usually only 1-2 servers for the whole seating area.

When not busy, service is good.
Also managers like us and may provide a bit more attention

The wait at little Jerusalem can sometimes be agonizing, learning to call ahead

That should not be a problem. We spend several days a year renting chairs on the Club Orient beach. The chair attendants just ask for the coupons and are not particular about anything. We love the relaxing and de-stressing aspect of spending time there.

Always enjoy the Meal sized Home made Nachos with chili at DD. O always do a “ pour your own “ or 2 at happy hour price. The days of $2.00 anything in bars have sailed.

Always great to arrive again in paradise! Glad to see the seaweed is gone, as it was horrible there for much of the summer.
Enjoy!

Sounds like a great day to me!! Happy anniversary and many more!! Great foodporn pixx!!!

This is all well and fine. But the REAL question is: How do we find a way to capture this product BEFORE it hits landfall????

I couple of things I'll always remember. One are the before and after satellite pictures showing how the green, lush BVI had been stripped to a brown forest of topped trees.

I'll also remember coming for a charter a year after and without exception was awed by the faith and resilience of the people who had lived through it.

Here's to hoping you'll never encounter such a storm again.

The credit mutuel ATM at hope estate near super U dispenses USD & euros. We just get US to use everywhere.

Was there for two weeks over the summer and never used Boatyball. There were plenty of FCFS non boatyball moorings, even at Cooper and Great Harbor. I know this probably isn't the case in peak season, but if I don't have to use it, I'm not going to.

I know it will change multiple times between now and next week, but today's Windy forcast is concerning.

I have also been to Spices of India and found them very accommodating as I have a sensitive stomach and can't take any hot spices. I had Mushroom Malai Tikka as an appetizer and I never new mushroom could taste so good. My main course was Chicken Korma, Garlic rice and Garlic Naan. I can't remember the name of the desert but it was a traditional desert - cake like coated balls in a sweet sauce. Everything was absolutely delicious. The owner and his wife were terrific and the decor was lovely. Will definitely go again on every trip.

I see you're from WA as I am too. I find the rates on American pretty good if you book early enough. What part of WA you from?

Not at all a criticism of your comments, but there's a fine line between good service and overattention. The French have it down pat. The servers observe the table, and recognize when something is needed. They don't check back to see if everything's ok, because they know it is, or can see if it isn't. The fact that your server was MIA is inexcusable.

Too bad, for such a young person.
